    Hi

    In the PowerShell 2.0 console in Windows 7 SP1, I wrote:

    Code:
    PS C:\Users\test\Documents\PowerShell> Get-Help * | Get-Help -Detailed | Out-File C:\Users\test\Documents\PowerShell\PowerShell_2,0_Guide.txt
    Out-File: Can not convert 'System.Object[]' to 'System.String' type required from 'FilePath' parameter. Specified method is not supported.
    In line:1 car:43
    + Get-Help * | Get-Help -Detailed | Out-File <<<<  C:\Users\test\Documents\PowerShell\PowerShell_2,0_Guide.txt
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Out-File], ParameterBindingException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgument,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutFileCommand
    PS C:\Users\test\Documents\PowerShell> Get-Help * | Get-Help -Detailed > C:\Users\test\Documents\PowerShell\PowerShell_2,0_Guide.txt
    Get-Help : Can not convert 'System.Object[]' to 'System.String' type required from 'Name' parameter. Specified method is not supported.
    In line:1 car:22
    + Get-Help * | Get-Help <<<<  -Detailed > C:\Users\test\Documents\PowerShell\PowerShell_2,0_Guide.txt
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-Help], ParameterBindingException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgument,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetHelpCommand
    PS C:\Users\test\Documents\PowerShell>
    
    Where I'm wrong?

    Thanks

    Bye

    To export the data to a text file you have to write like this:
    Code:
    C:\Users\PowerShell> Get-Help * | Get-Help -Detailed >> X:\foldername\filename.txt
